Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

The wind and clouds rise, and the sky and the earth change color.

In the Jinyang Palace, the purple-clad woman, Di Huang, frowned slightly, with a dangerous light flickering in her phoenix eyes. She raised her jade hand lightly, and a dazzling light fell from the sky, illuminating the palace like daylight.

"I know that you are ready to make a move and try to unite with the secret forces to harm me. But do you really think that you can shake my position with your insignificant means? Well, since you are seeking your own death, don't blame me for being rude!"

The emperor's tone was cold and his eyes were like lightning, as if he was going to personally kill these traitors who coveted her power in the next moment. The palace suddenly fell silent, and all the ministers were pale and trembling, not daring to make a sound.

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded: "Your Majesty, please calm down and listen to what I have to say."

As soon as the words fell, a fairy in a moon-white robe came over, her eyebrows and eyes were full of pure and unworldly beauty. This was the Emperor Huang's most trusted confidant, Princess Mingyue.

"Mingyue, what do you want to say?" Di Huang said lightly, his eyes falling on Mingyue's beautiful face.

Mingyue bowed slightly and said respectfully: "I just want to remind your majesty that now is a critical moment and you should not act rashly. If your majesty insists on doing it, it will cause chaos in the world and put your majesty's position in jeopardy. It is better to let me investigate first and find out the details of these traitors, and then your majesty will take action personally to wipe out these traitors in one fell swoop. This is the best strategy."

Di Huang pondered for a while, and finally nodded: "In that case, let's do as you say. However, remember not to make any mistakes, otherwise..." Her eyes turned cold, and the implication of her words was already very obvious.

Mingyue said quickly: "I understand, Your Majesty, and I will not let you down." After saying that, she turned around and tried to leave.

"Mingyue." Emperor Huang suddenly called her, "Remember, this time you must investigate thoroughly, root out the root of the problem, and leave no future troubles."

"Yes, I will do my best." Mingyue replied respectfully, then turned and left.

Watching Mingyue leave, the haze between Emperor Huang's brows dissipated a little, but the oppressive atmosphere still did not dissipate. She sighed slightly, sat back on the throne, closed her eyes, and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, a man in a black robe quietly appeared behind Di Huang with a sneer on his face.

"Your Majesty, it seems that you have discovered those traitors who are ready to make a move. I never thought that in just a few months, there would be such arrogant lunatics who dared to murder your Majesty's country. These traitors must be killed without mercy to prevent future troubles."

Emperor Huang opened his eyes upon hearing the voice, turned to look at the man behind him, and said calmly: "Xuanwu, you should have heard about these traitors. I want to know if you are also involved in it?"

The man named Xuanwu knelt down and said respectfully: "I will never participate in such a conspiracy. This is disrespectful to Your Majesty. I am willing to serve you and work with you to eliminate these evils, so as to demonstrate your majesty's majesty and protect the people of the world."

Emperor Huang stared at him for a long time, and finally nodded: "Very good. In this case, let's go with Mingyue to investigate the inside story of this matter. But remember, there must be no mistakes, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

"I will follow your majesty's instructions." Xuanwu responded respectfully, then stood up and left.

Emperor Huang watched him leave, his brows furrowed, alarm bells ringing in his heart. This storm was probably just the beginning.

..........

At this moment, in a hidden cave, a group of solemn-looking figures were discussing something intensely.

"This is really bad. It seems that the emperor has discovered our existence." A white-haired old man sighed.

"I also feel that the situation is serious. The court has sent Princess Mingyue and General Xuanwu to investigate the matter. I'm afraid we can't escape." Another old man with gray hair and beard said worriedly.

"Alas, it seems we have to speed up our action. Otherwise, when Princess Mingyue and General Xuanwu find out our whereabouts, we may not even have a chance to escape." A middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes said anxiously.

"You are right. However, we can't be impatient, otherwise it will be easy to expose our whereabouts, and then we will be in big trouble. It is better for us to hide our whereabouts temporarily and wait for Princess Mingyue and General Xuanwu to finish their investigation before taking action." A man with a stern face suggested.

"Okay, let's do as you say. However, we must act as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." The old man nodded.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded at the same time. This undercurrent of power struggle had just begun.

........

At the same time, in a quiet valley, a peerless beauty in a white dress was walking leisurely with a faint smile on her face. This was Princess Mingyue.

"Alas, your majesty is really worried, asking me to search for these annoying traitors everywhere. However, it is also thanks to these traitors that I have the opportunity to leave the palace and enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers." Mingyue whispered to herself, her eyes as gentle as water.

At this moment, a clear and moving song suddenly sounded, echoing in the valley. Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and walked slowly towards the direction where the song came from.

When she came to a mountain stream, she saw a peerless beauty in a plain dress with long flowing hair standing by the stream, singing leisurely. Her voice was clear and melodious, fascinating, and as beautiful as the sound of nature.

Mingyue stood quietly to admire it for a while, then clapped her hands and praised: "It's so beautiful, may I know your name, young lady?"

The woman was startled when she heard the voice, and turned around with a look of surprise on her face. But when she saw Mingyue's face clearly, she was immediately pleasantly surprised, and quickly put her hands together and said respectfully: "Greetings, Princess Mingyue. I am the owner of Baihua Valley, Huaying."

Mingyue smiled and said, "So it's the owner of Huaying Valley. I didn't expect to meet such a beautiful woman in this remote valley. It's such a pleasant surprise."

Huaying blushed slightly and whispered, "Princess, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary woman, how can I deserve your praise."

Mingyue smiled and waved her hand: "You are too modest. I heard your singing just now, it was so beautiful, it was simply the sound of nature."

Huaying lowered her head shyly, "Princess, thank you for your compliment. However, I am truly honored to be recognized by you."

Seeing her so shy, Mingyue couldn't help but smile secretly. She stepped forward, raised Huaying's chin with her hand, and said gently: "You don't have to be so reserved. We are just two ordinary women. How about we find a place to sit down and chat?"

Huaying was startled, her face became even redder, "That, that's too rude. How can I sit next to the princess..."

"It's nothing rude, we are friends." Mingyue interrupted her with a smile, "Besides, I also want to hear your story. I can see that you are a very interesting woman."

Huaying stared at Mingyue blankly for a long time, and finally said softly: "Since Princess has said so, I will not be polite."

After that, she followed Mingyue's lead to a pavilion built of bluestone, and they sat down side by side. Mingyue smiled slightly and began to chat and laugh with Huaying.

At this moment, a dark figure appeared silently in the bushes not far away, staring at Mingyue and Huaying quietly. The man had a stern face and sharp eyes, like a beast waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Just like that, a power game hidden in the shadows quietly kicked off.
